missizzyThis week my Call of the Netherdeep group played on Foundry for the first time. We were still figuring out how for much of the session (took me an eternity how to figure out how to move around maps), but it's slightly more efficient and way, way cooler looking than Roll 20, especially when we started casting the spells, and things like eldritch blasts actually moved around the map towards their targets. (At least once we figured out selecting those.)
The session ended up consisting of two halves. First there was the visit to the brothel where my fellow drow agreed to with the dwarves. But when Schist decided to come along, our kobold fire druid decided to as well-except it turned out he didn't know what you're supposed to do in a brothel. So he confused/disturbed the hells out of one woman when he showed her his perfectly PG-rated fire tricks and then suggested they burn the place down, and after she walked out he went and started a fire behind the building. He actually managed to elude the city guard, but we probably can't go back to that brothel again. Except one of the dwarves promptly declared himself in love with his lady, and all in all the breakfast conversation we had the next day is probably the most hilarious thing to happen to us so far. During it my fellow drow made up a wild story about having an orgy with 12 women. Schist failed her insight check on it, and her view of him is now completely changed.
During the second half, we got sent back down to the watery realm beneath Ank'harel to venture into a rift entrance-which we didn't get to this week, because our DM rolled on the random encounter table, and we ended up facing an aboleth and its spawn. The encounter started out well enough, with Schist casting Blight for the first time, the aboleth failing the save, and the dice rolling crazy high. Then it promptly took control of her on its first turn, and of her fellow drow on its second! Very fortunately, it then went doing damage to her, and when she rolled the wisdom save again, she made it, and when her fellow drow too took damage, she could even use Alyxian's necklace to give him a reroll on the save to make it as well. Though that ultimately proved unnecessary, since we were also all unleashing on it by then, and managed to kill it before his next turn anyway. A couple of the other characters got close to going down, though, and we were all relieved to have survived that encounter. Had the aboleth been a bit smarter about keeping the drow under control, we might not have!
